Coming from a BB then a Iphone how would you rate the learning curve on Android's OS? Just in the store playing with Android it seems to me very menu rich.
Basically is everything self explanatory like the iphone or am gonna need to carry the manual with me?
Yea you should be able to pretty much learn everything by playing with the phone for a day or two. There is definitely a learning curve if you get into rooting and all it has to offer. I still learn new things daily.
The only real learn curve is the "settings" aspect. Android is very feature rich and open for developers, so a lot of apps have a wide variety of settings in them. You just play around until you find something you like. Or like xliderider said, just visit some forums for help.

What exactly is rooting? I hear a lot of people talking about it. And is it something you suggest? Is this the same as overclock, which I hear alot about as well?

Rooting is basically gaining inside access to the phone, which would allow you to overclock. If your knowledge of doing this is not great, I would really suggest reading the other forums on the how-to's if you want to try. Android is really hard to brick, but can get frustrating if you don't know what you are doing.
Every time I'm in MobileTerminal on my iPod staring at the root directory I wonder why they didn't call it "rooting" for the iPhone/iPod Touch. But then again having a name like "rooting" would look out of place with all the u1tiMaTe Hax0r names those devs give everything else.

How easy is it to root?

Depends if you are on 2.1 or 2.0.1
2.1 you have to flash an SBF file to go back to 2.0.1 and then flash a rooted 2.1 rom. Check out alldroid, they have a ton of info and threads on how to do it, its not difficult.
